Winter Watch is a scheme run by Reading Borough Council and a number of local voluntary and health services to help people on low incomes in Reading to prepare their home for heating during the winter months.

Winter Watch can help you by:

Giving advice on your bills and energy provider

Telling you about grants to help you insulate your home

Carrying out minor repairs to stop draughts

Lending you a heater or dehumidifier.

You can apply for Winter Watch until 31 March by phoning 0118 937 3747.
